Condi Ranger Build
It’s a very good build, very good offensive pressure with this I have done similar ones before and it can bleed in the extreme no matter how good their cleanse is, however when you get jumped by numerous opponents you’re a sitting duck with no escape really and only a sword would do that I would also prefer evasive purity despite the buff to signets just to have extra security that poison will not ruin your heals aswell as empathic bond for other condi bursters.
You have zero mobility. Its bad for Wvw… If you dont take sword you cant roam.

So should I switch my axe for a sword? I just hate the autoattack so much…

wtf are you talking about?
Anyways take warhorn, swap from inventory when you need to get somewhere.
Sword is bad, period. Your paper DPS is baws, I know.

If you want to roam you must be able to survive a thief. If you cant no point to roam. -> hence sword allow you to movement quickly in combat and dodge some hit so you survive longer. Thats my point. Mobility outside combat is overrated as roamer, since you dont have to go to specific point asap because roaming is mostly running around with no goal.

The build having 1900 toughness and bark skin should take care of thief danger in the hands of a competent ranger.
I don’t think out of combat mobility is overrated at all. If you cannot move fast out of combet, you will be like a slow kid everyone hits on the had as they run by. You cannot pick your fights if you’re slow. I slot GS and sword or warhorn on my first 2 slots in inventory all the time, so out of combat I can quickly swap weapons for more mobilty (currently trying out a sb a/d build).
As for the build I think sharpened edges might be good in your build as when you use sharpening stone you will get fury and are at 50% crit chance. But I would stay away from earth sigils. The 2 seconds internal cooldown is a letdown. Instead you could use sigil of strength. On shortbow you will get might as you apply bleeds. You can mainain 10 stacks if you could open with quickness, but at least 5 should be possible by autoattacking. I would try out ghost pepper poppers. They help you end the fight quicker during the day as you get might on crit, and it helps you kite during night, as it gives chill. And unlike sigil of ice it doesn’t have a long ICD. I’d also swap lynx for owl for more kiting and burst. Without the condi damage trait for pets and rending attacks lynx damage won’t be what it could be. Owl will be another source of chill which you will need if you want to kite pepople.

Only question, How can he run away with his build? Definitly not with Horn or Shortbow. Hence, sword is the best pick for roamer in EVERY CASE.

mobility != evade
That build has mobility thanks to Signet of the hunt. But I agree with the sword part. Without healing power that toughness isn’t enough to make you survive fights that are not 1vs1 and roaming is all about 1vX fights. You need to evade like crazy to avoid as many attacks as possible while keeping health regenerating.
My advice, drop bow, and run axe/d, s/t. Also, I’m not a fan of crit+condis on ranger since condi can’t crit and your weapons don’t have powerfull attacks to proc nice crits. Beside that, some minor changes to sigils and that’s all.
But thats just me, the build isn’t bad. Good condi removal and nice bleed stacks.
